Product & Manufacturers
Portable vs. Stationary Generators
Portable generator:
A portable has to be brought out of storage and moved to where you need
it. It must be refueled frequently. Portables are generally fueled with gasoline,
a fuel that requires safe and fresh storage and extra care in handling. How much
gasoline will you need for an extended outage? Some portables have very small
fuel tanks, so they need refueling every half hour or so. And don’t forget
that gasoline doesn’t store very well without using an additive. Many gas stations are not on back-up power, so you may be left searching for fuel on treacherous roads.
Portable generator owners usually employ a series of extension cords to connect
the generator to specific items in their house, such as a refrigerator, lights,
computer, and TV. Although this system works, it is most practical for outages
of a short duration. Also you can't connect your furnace or well pump to an extension
cord.
Most portable generators are “rope started”, like lawnmowers.
If your wife, teenager or elderly relative will be using the generator they may have trouble starting it. Plus, you will be doing all of this in the worst of weather. Try to get a portable
generator out in the rain, snow, sleet, strong winds and bitter cold. Does the
thought of that make you cringe? Well, it should!
Automatic standby generator:
On the other hand, with a stationary (automatic) generator on duty,
you and your family can stay warm and dry in your home instead of battling the
elements. Starting is fully automatic. In fact, it can take just 10-30 seconds
from the beginning of the power outage until the generator is completely up and
running. This type of generator employs an automatic transfer switch which monitors
the incoming power and switches the generator on and off as needed
If you are away, you have the peace of mind in knowing that your home
standby generator is on the scene. Night or day, home or away, nothing puts you
in your comfort zone like a Guardian home standby generator system. It does it
all for you, 24 hours a day — 7 days a week…automatically!!

How a Home Standby System Works
When the utility power to your home fails because of a storm, accident,
or brown-out conditions, the generator set automatically starts and, within seconds,
produces electricity. The transfer of power is seamless and automatic, and allows
you to continue your daily routine without interruption.
The System Works in 5 Basic Steps:
1. The Automatic Transfer Panel monitors the voltage coming from the utility.
2. The Transfer Panel senses when the utility power drops below an acceptable
level, and sends a signal to start the generator.
3. The Transfer Panel automatically disconnects the utility power from the electrical
circuits in your home, and reconnects them to the generator unit.
4. The generator unit continues to supply electrical power to your home until
utility power is restored.
5. The Transfer Panel senses when the utility power is restored, automatically
disconnects the generator from your home circuits, and reconnects the utility
power. The transfer system automatically re-sets itself and is ready for the next
power outage.
A Home Standby System has Two Major Components:
1. A generator to produce the power needed to run your essential home systems.
2. An automatic transfer switch that immediately senses when utility power has
been interrupted, transferring responsibility to the generator.
